So, I’m sitting in the basement of Comix waiting to do my second open mic of the night. It just occurred to me that most people spend their nights at home and I used to be one of those people. I can’t tell you how weird it is to remember the person I was in January. I almost didn’t go to an audition for a friend’s show because I was certain I’d just embarrass myself....

Reality Check
One day I want to watch a reality show and see someone say in their confessional, “I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to make BEST FRIENDS!”

I agree whole heartedly with Klausner—read it. And then read the email Andrew Cohen sent Lizzie Skurnick:
Dear Lizzie:
I won’t...

I stuck to the plan, man.
Yes, indeedily. I got everything done yesterday that I wanted to without falling asleep.
Cosicosa came with me to Whiplash last night. It was her first time at the UCB, and I think she chose a good show to go to. First came Chris Locke who griped about his difficulties with numbers. Then Chris Gethard explained that although he’s encountered unparalleled success this year (people-you must...
Stick to the plan, girl!
I’m going to try to accomplish these things after work—so long as I don’t fall asleep first.
»Go home to Queens & change clothes
»Make and eat cheese fries
»Go to Harlem for a mic
»Go further into Harlem to help cosicosa assemble ikea furniture
»See Whiplash at the UCB tonight with cosicosa. Tonight’s line-up includes Matt Besser, John...

Where have all the Darias gone? →

I want a Daria.
I still consider myself a Daria.
I feel guilty because I was a Daria in middle school and high school, and I somehow grew up into a Quinn. My hair is so bouncy.

Why do I only photograph well in costumes?
Today I received a message that I need to provide a photo/headshot for a promotional flier. Exciting, right? No.
I don’t have a headshot. Let me rephrase that. I don’t have a headshot that I really like. I also don’t have a photo in which I look pretty. Let me rephrase that, too. I actually have a ton of those. However they are all from insane costume parties or were taken...

Whiplash - July 19, 2010 edition
Oh, look, it’s your weekly Whiplash review.
Sean O’Connor, a comic I know from the open mic scene, had a really strong opening set. It was cool to see how a few jokes I’ve seen him test at mics translated with a real audience. I thought he killed. Next came Dave Hill. He started well, but I think had difficulty keeping the audience’s attention. He had a very...
Bring out your dead!
I had a good set at an open mic tonight, and afterwards the host offered me a spot at a show at the Laugh Lounge next month. It would give me the chance to perform at a legit club, in front of a large audience, on a bill that includes a national headliner. I’d also get a free DVD of my set. Of course, the catch is that it’s a bringer show.
I’ve heard a lot of comics on the alt...

If you ever really want to piss me off, make plans with me and then cancel. I know it’s ridiculous, but nothing makes me more irate.

Fail Whale, why must you mock me with your fail?
It’s not like I even post on Twitter all that much, but there is a vain desire in me to reach 100 followers. I’m at 97 now. Surely it has to happen someday, right?!?
